Ok guys

im still confused with a few things

i found a list of LCAs and what sizes etc...
Model - Length - CT Dia
RA40 - 300mm - 12mm
TA22 - 300mm - 12mm
AE86 - 300mm - 12mm
KE7x - 300mm - 12mm
XT130 - 310mm - 12mm (RT132 too?)
MX73 - 304mm -12mm
MX62 - 365mm - 12mm
GE Sigma - 330mm - 12mm
S13 - 350mm - 14mm

now it seems everyone goes with the XT130s what i want to know is if i do the same what exactly do i need to do the job, what parts do i require i know i need the XT130s but what else and has anyone one done a write up fo this?

thanks

nothing else.

the xt corona has lock stop on the lca. you need to cut these off. thats it. your stock tie rods and rack ends will have enough adjustment in them. if you have power steering as as well though, you might want some longer tie rods or rack ends.

you can grab the tie rods off the corona as well. theyre a 2 piece turnbuckle design, and have a greater range of adjustment, and are on car adjustable too.

if your tie rods you have on your car are new say, but your stock rack ends are fucked, just get ra60 rack ends. theyre a touch longer.

either set up will be long enough.

also xt/rt 13X are all the same.

would it be better to use mx62s?

**slydar** · 8th February 2009, 07:02 PM

no. i would only use mx62 arms if you want full "oni kamu" style. its really too much to work properly. youre talking in the region of a minimum 6 degrees negative camber. maybe 5 ish with strut tops wound full positive.

if i wanted -3 camber and had strut tops + RA60 struts, what arms should i be using? i was guessing sigma but am unsure

I thought ra40 and xt130 lca were the same length

**egg_83** · 8th February 2009, 07:29 PM

Yeah sigmas mate

mx62 would only really be good to cut up into adjustable ones as you have more meat to play with and would likely be bit thicker and stronger than other yotas of the same style lca

Im using XT130 LCA's, KE30 Tie Rod Tubes, and RA40 Tie Rod ends on a KE70 rack. Can be adjusted to be even shorter or heaps longer then stock Tie rods.

Agreed. I have them on my RA65 and it's heaps of track. I run 14x7 0 offset with about 4-5deg neg camber so they sit under the guards.. Will be going s13.
